No, it’s not a chicken, despite the name. The BookBook for iPad by Twelve South is actually a great little case for your iPad that takes style to a whole new level.
The first thing you notice when tak... Read More

The HiRise Stand for iPhone 5/5s and iPad Mini is definitely a rise above its competitors. The HiRise Stand, designed by Twelve South, although by most considered a desire; I consider it to be a necessity.

The Speck StyleFolio Case is the first in what I’m sure will be a long line of brilliance. The slender protective case, designed only for the Apple iPad Air, skilfully combines a variety of fun, productive and convenient features.

Adonit have been striving for some time to create a stylus that comes as close as possible to replicating the ease of writing of that old school tool, the pen and paper. And they’ve been getting pretty darn close. But with their latest relea... Read More

Apple has had a tendency for some time now to let external app developers do all the hard work of coming up with a fabulous app, only for them to either buy it up (leaving a very happy app developer), or more commonly, to make their own version of... Read More

I think it’s probably fair to say that the US has got to be one of the most litigious countries on the planet, but we almost have a bit of a “Poe’s Law” feeling creeping up about this one it’s that ironic lol.
In a strange twist in the fallout of the San Ber... Read More

Japanese railway JR East is due to launch Apple Pay later this month via its Suica payment system. Apple has upgraded the iPhone 7, 7 Plus, and Apple Watch Series 2 to support the system and all devices sold in Japan are equipped with FeliCa-compatible NFC chips, which have long allowed mobile pa...

A week after Samsung announced an official cessation to production of the Note 7, sparks are still flying over the South Korean company’s handling of its exploding Note 7 issues.
"We recently readjusted the production volume for thorough investigation and quality control, but putti... Read More

Employees at Brisbane based Apple stores have been implicated in a scandal involving taking and sharing photos of female customers and staff —including ones allegedly stolen directly from customers' iPhones.

In a move that is going to generate significant waves, Samsung has officially ceased production of the Note 7, requested all retailers across the globe to stop selling and exchanging the smartphone, and instructed all owners of the phone to immediately power it off and seek a refund or alternate ...

The litigation between Apple and Samsung continues, with Apple winning a vote 8-3 at a US federal appeals court on Friday, successfully reinstating a verdict worth $119.6 million for patent violations, including the “slide-to-unlock” concept, autocorrect technology and phone number de... Read More

As readers may have guessed, we have been especially underwhelmed by Apple’s September 2016 launch here at GB and really feeling disappointed overall with the direction Apple has been heading for some time. Since the death of Steve Jobs the innovation has faltered, the iOS hasn’t been... Read More

Like most of September 7’s launch news, the Apple Watch Series 2 was a little underwhelming. That’s not to say that we think the Watch is a “bad” product per se, it’s just that when it comes to Apple product releases we tend to get excited, not about the things it do... Read More

iPhone 7 Launches… Well, Pretty Much As Predicted!
The whole Apple rumour-mill thing is actually starting to get rather boring these days; nearly everything that “leaks” is true and we all basically know what’s coming in a launch before its date is even announced... Read More

Another security flaw in Apple’s iOS has come to light in the last fortnight, which when exploited by hackers gives them the potential to take over your phone and do just about anything with it, from stealing private data to activating and recording from the camera and microphone – sc... Read More

Case does not feel like value for money and I was shocked to have to pay £13.99 customs duty before the Royal Mail would deliver it.
It was priced in GB Pounds but I was charged Australian Dollars.

However, I am using it so it does the job. More>>

Have already bought a new holder that holds two cards and is slim line. I tried this for a week and never felt safe with my cards in the back. I put a piece of Velcro to hold them but in the end I bought another one that suits me better. Bummed as this a really well made case but my cards were not secure. Tony More>>

A magnetic closure would be a nice improvement. Plus, maybe a few more card slots. For all products you need to have more pictures and a zoom feature similar to Amazon’s. Otherwise, this phone case is a good one for those who want a wallet-style or who carry their phones in a purse. More>>
